Most base the preparation of the prescription on evidence from the scientific literature, REMUME and clinical experience (76.47% each) and use scientific articles as the main source of update (82.35%). Most recommend purchase (70.58%) and the Aqui Tem Farmácia Popular Program (64.70%) in case of lack of medication in municipal pharmacies. On the other hand, a still significant portion bases the preparation of the prescription (23.52%) and considers the pharmaceutical industry's marketing as the main source of update (23.52%), which also affects the provision of free samples (52.94%). %) in case of lack of medicine in municipal pharmacies. The most prevalent categories that emerged from the content of the participants' statements were updating REMUME (28.60%), communication about medicines available in stock (17.90%), availability of medicines (14.30%) and pharmacy installed in the UBS (14.30%). It is necessary to develop strategies that make it possible to expand access to essential medicines in this context of primary care, as well as to equip these prescribers that the improvement in the quality of the prescription permeates not only access to the medicine, but also its prescription and its effective use and safe.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Prescrição de MedicamentosSegurança do PacienteAcesso ao medicamentoAtenção PrimáriaDrug PrescriptionPatient safetyAccess to medicationPrimary carearticle
